There's a boatload of keybindings in prefs.

Personally, I just use it in portrait mode and scroll with the +/- buttons.

Uh -- from the "Preferences" section in the menu?

Those are the default keybindings. I do switch hands a lot, though, so you see why I had to change it.

Also, I have the annoying habit of reading while I eat (or is that the other way around?), so I tend to switch from portrait to landscape a lot, which is why the center button for page turning is less confusing. Finally, for eater-readers, the N800's stand is a gods' gift.

My main keybindings are, in portrait view:
- Dpad left: page back
- Dpad center: page forward
- Dpad right: alternate portrait/landscape
- Dpad up: scroll back one line
- Dpad down: scroll down one line

That's just about everything I need...

Sorry to seem thick, but I don't see an area to change the key bindings. I see: General/Language/Scrolling/Margins/Format/Styles/Indicator
Colors/Keys/Config/Tap/ - For default, the center key on the dpad cycles between landscape and portrait.

Ha Ha General. I did look at the key tab. There:

I see a checkbox for keybindings depend on orientation. Then I see a dropbox for orientation (0,90,180,90) - then an editbox labeled 'action for key.' Maybe its just been a long day for me, but I don't see what's so hilarious.

Edit: OK, press the key to select an action. Anyway, ha ha.

It's the things you find out by yourself that stick.
